    Same here.

    Finding actual answers or at least able to point me in the right direction is way better than any of the other search engines I’ve tried.

    DDG, Google, Bing, SearchNX, Ecosia, Brave, and probably some more, they just aren’t even in the same ball field for the things I look up personally.

      I’ve been using Ecosia for a few months now and sadly I’m not having the best experience either. For mainstream stuff it gives good results, but once I search for obscure phrases or god forbid another language, it often just completely gives up and doesn’t show a single result. It pains me to say that I more reliably get usable results from Google’s Web search (so with the AI crap removed) than from Ecosia with Google set as its results provider.
